1.3.7 Export and Import

COMA enables exporting a conglomeration to a file, which can then be imported on another server. The export procedure packages the modules for components that are configured in the conglomeration, the complete configuration state from the catalog, and possibly other files and installation instructions into an installer package file. The client can then import this file on another server if the installer package file and the modules it contains are appropriate to (supported by) the other server.

COMA also enables exporting all of the conglomerations in a partition at once to an installer package file; this is known as exporting a partition. An exported partition can be imported on a server that supports multiple partitions.
